Karate Choppy Waters

Here is a pic from our second attempt at water aerobics that occurred this week. I (Shannon) decided to post this picture out of all that were taken because it made me laugh as it looks like Shiree is going to go all Chuck Norris-Karate Kid on our new teacher while Kira, Peggy, and Amber just stand back and watch it all go down...

It Was A REWARD...Not A RELAPSE!

Let us make something thing clear...We were not hiding. We were not ashamed. We were merely looking for a little peace and quiet to enjoy and savor the moment of chocolatey goodness that followed a two hour volleyball practice!

Day 1...

So today was 'D Day'...

Let that D stand for whatever you want...Diet, Doom, Damn(it)...all are applicable. For today we weighed and measured ourselves, and began a weight loss endeavor. Now sure, no one put a gun to our head and forced us to participate. We willingly signed up for the gig. So why the dread? Why the less than positive 'd words?'...the before mentioned weigh in and measuring. For me, it wasn't the prettiest of things. The numbers were big. And the 'before pictures' that I will be taking should probably be done by Jostens with a panoramic camera on a set of bleachers so they can can capture the entirety of me...but moving on...

I'm committed to this competition. In it to win it, as they say. Oh wait. Or just in it to have the time of my life and laugh til I pee, and hopefully lose a few lbs. in the process...okay, that sounds more like it! You want to hear the level of my commitment?! For example, this morning I awoke knowing this was the first day of the rest of my fit life and what did I do? I finished the brownie I started last night! Yeah that's right people, I finish what I start! And I plan to do to this competition what I did to that delectable turtle brownie...finish the sucker!  ~Shannon

So we promised you video blogging, and we didn't want to disappoint on day one, so Peggy was a champ and decided to be the first to bear her soul on film. Enjoy...
